Extractions: Approximately 35 million American adults and children are disabled, with some physical or mental impairment that limits their activities. Their basic clothing should be functional, comfortable, and attractive. Clothing can enhance or limit independence and productivity. Tight or confining clothing can impair movement and reduce comfort. It also may cause a feeling of unattractiveness, possibly lowering self-esteem. Many people with disabilities, whether temporary or permanent, have reduced physical strength and dexterity. The more independent they can become, the more psychologically healthy they will feel. Some self-help features make it easier to manage fastening/unfastening and putting on/removing clothes. Many features allow for added fullness, giving greater comfort and ease of movement. The following features may promote independence in dressing/undressing: Simple styles, with minimal details.

Extractions: Adequate Yearly Progress As Required by No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) Introduction The new federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) calls for ALL students AND each group of students in the U.S. to be at the highest levels on state tests (PACT in South Carolina) by 2014. The groups of student are: All White Black Hispanic Asian American Indian Limited English Proficiency Special Needs-Disabled Free-Reduced Price Lunch Participants A school must have 40 or more students in any of these groups for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) to be measured for that group. AYP is an all-or-nothing system. Important Points: · Special Needs and Limited English Proficient (non-native English speaking) students must score "proficient" to meet AYP, but in most cases, if they could attain such a score, they wouldn’t be in these groups in the first place! · South Carolina came up with its own education accountability law prior to NCLB. This law created the statewide school report card and has very tough standards. In fact, The Princeton Review ranks South Carolina as the third "toughest" of the 50 states.

Bureau of Beneficiary and Systems Support > Medicaid Program Overview Medicaid Program Overview Effective April 1, 2003 WHAT IS MEDICAID? Medicaid is South Carolina's grant-in-aid program by which the federal and state governments share the cost of providing medical care for needy persons who have low income. The program was authorized by Title XIX of the Social Security Act that was signed into law by the President on July 30, 1965. Congress has continually changed the Medicaid Program since the legislation creating it was enacted. South Carolina began participation in the Medicaid Program in July 1968. Because the cost of the Medicaid Program is shared by the state and federal governments, states are given some flexibility in providing coverage to its needy citizens. For this reason, the rules for Medicaid coverage vary from state to state. An individual who is eligible in South Carolina is not necessarily eligible if he moves to North Carolina, Georgia, etc. ARE MEDICAID AND MEDICARE THE SAME?
Extractions: Columbia, S.C. 29201 Dear Mr. Dorn: The Department of Disabilities and Special Needs appreciates the opportunity to submit this transmittal of DDSN's Accountability Report for FY 1996-97. Section 44-20-240 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, as amended, states that the South Carolina Department of Disabilities and Special Needs has authority over all the state's services and programs for the treatment and training of persons with mental retardation, related disabilities, autism, head injuries and spinal cord injuries. The Department's mission statement is based on this mandate and includes input from consumers, parents and family members, advocates, service providers and staff. Most individuals with severe lifelong disabilities are eligible for services from the department. Services are provided to both children and adults. As these individuals require services for decades there is virtually no turnover in the system to accommodate new persons needing services. These new individuals will be children who are born with severe disabilities and adults and children who survive severe physical trauma due to advances in science and medicine.

Special Reports SERVICES Video E-Mail Services CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com Story Tools RELATED Key provisions in the special education bill HR 1350 WASHINGTON (AP) A Republican-led push to let parents send disabled children to private school with government money failed Wednesday as the House passed legislation renewing a 28-year-old law governing special education. Democrats said the school choice proposals amounted to a dangerous expansion of the voucher program. The proposals were a major point of contention in the debate over reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The bill passed by a 251-171 vote. One plan would have enticed states to create private school options so parents could use public money for tuition and transportation. A second proposal was intended to give certificates of public dollars about $1,400 to disabled children already enrolled in private schools so they could get extra services. Supporters said that amounts to the per-student federal dollars that school districts receive for special education. Almost every Democrat and about one-fifth of Republicans joined to reject the ideas.

Extractions: The New York City Department of Education agreed to pay a lesbian student $30,000 in order to settle a discrimination suit. Natalie Young was suspended after she wore a T-shirt inscribed with the words "Barbie is a lesbian." Natalie sued, claiming that school officials singled her out for harassment, culminating in her suspension, after she revealed her sexual preference. Natalie's attorney, Ronald Kuby, said the department had no dress code policy prior to the suit and subsequently adopted a policy allowing students to wear politically charged attire, provided that the clothing is not libelous or obscene and that it causes no substantial disorder.
